CyberFeds Subscription Services

The U.S. Coast Guard, through its Headquarter Contract Operations office, awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to LRP Publications, Inc. for CyberFeds Subscription Services to support legal and labor relations functions within the agency. This subscription provides 57 unlimited-user licenses to a proprietary, non-commercial digital database containing authoritative federal employment and labor law materials, including agency regulations, case law from the FLRA, MSPB, EEOC, and OWCP, as well as key legal treatises such as Broida’s and Hadley’s, three Workers’ Compensation databases, and four eLearning modules. The service includes real-time updates, news alerts, expert commentary, and technical assistance, ensuring that USCG attorneys and employee relations specialists have continuous, searchable access to mission-critical legal resources required for compliance, policy management, and litigation defense. The contract period runs from August 23, 2026, through August 22, 2027, with a reasonable expectation of a potential one-year option period, though no formal option clause is documented. Performance is entirely electronic, delivered to users based in Washington, D.C., with no physical deliverables, packaging, marking, or military standards applicable. The acquisition was justified under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) due to the unique and irreplaceable nature of the CyberFeds database, with no commercially available alternative offering equivalent depth or functionality. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing details, or contract value are specified in the documentation, and no formal contract clauses, representations, certifications, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel protections, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are included. Funding is drawn from Fiscal Year 2026 operations and support funds, and the contracting officer is Sherylan Spears, with no assigned COR or COTR identified in the materials.
